Well done. A pint of the cheapest old bitter is on it’s way.

Mambo No.5 was the theme music for Test Cricket on Channel 4 in the UK. That is enough to save it from this thread.
As a shithouse one hit wonder I thought it was quite good fun. Conveniently enough I knew a pair of chicks called Monica and Jessica which always made it a bit of a banger at parties back in the day.

Ta. I should add that in Robson & Jerome's defence, they didn't actually sing or play any instruments on their records.

Well considering they both starred on the small screen they’re one up on Milli Vanilli

I am honestly surprised no one has nominated any Nickeback songs yet. Bad, but not bad enough?
It would have been a short thread
Exempt

Because although they are completely unoriginal and formulaic, they're music is so much better than pretty much so every other song on this thread. (Except for Daughter, of course)
Honestly would you rather listen to How You Remind Me, Rock Star, Far Away etc or Achy Breaky Heart, Cotton Eye Joe, Hey Baby ....

Well. it depends on the setting, but I get the point. My surprise is not because I necessarily view Nickelback's songs as being the worst of the early-2000s - more stereotypical of that whiny rock of that era - more because they're so hated (Chad Kroger in particular).

@l_n_p weird choice as a follow up to capitalise on their early momentum
Bit like the international release of six months in a leaky boat
I wanted to give a Kiwi flavour to the thread ... I was going to post 'How Bizarre' by OMC to wind people up but I quite enjoy it. Woodface is simply a brilliant album, I just have to skip that first track.
Off topic, anyone who enjoys Crowded House should check out the World Party albums, which were the solo project of ex-Waterboy Karl Wallinger (certainly best known as the writer of "She's The One" for Robbie Williams)

Unlike Milli Vanilli, they have non inconsiderable acting skill.

Yeah, it's a bit of an outlier for that album, but I think the lyrics are bloody good though

Best album for me was Goodbye Jumbo (1990) then Dumbing Up (2000). Like Crowded House, absolute classic gems scattered throughout all five albums. Like Neil Finn, a songwriting genius.
He had a brain aneurysm in 2001, lost speech and peripheral vision ... had to (re-)learn to play the guitar with his other hand. The royalties from "She's The One" kept him afloat.
Karl Wallinger: The song that saved my bacon
World Party’s Karl Wallinger tells Graeme Thomson what kept him afloat after a devastating brain aneurysm .

@junior these guys said to hold thier beer, cos they are under-age...
Great call. And I'll never, ever forgive Hanson for leaving Sam Cane on the bench ahead of that 2019 World Cup Semi Final.
